$ nmap -p 6566 192.168.255.10

Starting Nmap 7.60 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-02-01 02:49 PST
Nmap scan report for rn1.rent-a-nerd.local (192.168.255.10)
Host is up (0.00018s latency).

Great link!

This looks like it may work:

     xsane net:192.168.0.6

xsane net:192.168.255.10
Failed to open device `net:192.168.255.10`: invalid argument

Poop!
